Neighbors On The Oostanaula

On this gorgeous late spring day, a few of our neighbors embarked from the tree-root landing near our house for a jon boat excursion on the Oostanaula. I snapped a few pictures. 

 

White (Second Day Of) Christmas!

 I'm seventy-five years old and I still get a little excited over a dusting of snow.

So I walked out and took a few pictures. I may just call the grandgirls -- they're on California time -- and show them some snow. They spent part of Christmas Day at the beach!

Later...

We walked around the yard as we FaceTimed with Clemmie, Ruth, Suzie, and Brannon. And Granny even made the girls a (minimalist) snowman atop a concrete bench...

Granny & GrandShaw Grand Adventure 2022 - 9/23

Several years ago, about the time Clementine was starting to walk,I noticed a Little Tykes Play Set for sale on Facebook Marketplace. We drove out into the country east of Shannon to see it. The red parts were very sun-bleached, but it seemed sound otherwise. I could always spray paint the red parts. So for fifteen bucks we had a play set for when Clem came to Georgia. I spent another fifteen or twenty dollars on several cans of red spray paint labeled "for plastic". Soon I had a gorgeous fresh looking playlet.  A year later it needed another coat. And now it needs a third coat! But still the girls love it. This time I cleaned it good and set it up on the porch. I wish I'd had time to paint it again, but the girls didn't mind at all. All three loved playing on that porch and the on over around and through the play set.

We also made it back to the levee with a scooter -- a yard sale find.

And then another puppet show (the puppet stage is from Hospitality House Thrift Store.
